I was looking for somewhere new to eat in the Ventura area and I came across Hummus Republic. I've been to this plaza many times I've been to all the stores next to it and used to come here when it used to to be another business. To be totally honest, I was a little bit intimidated by how the process works. But I assume caught on that. It was almost like a chipotle kind of style place. I decided to go with a bowl. I was able to choose between three types of different bases, and I went with the basmati rice and the couscous was able to choose a couple of salad options as well. Luckily, we were able to mix and match since I can never make a decision on getting All three types of greens that they have. Then moved over to the hummus section and I was able to get the three most popular hummus flavors, which I actually don't remember what I got. I know one of them was an olive flavored one and another one was a little more spicy. Then over to the protein side of things, you can mix up to two different choices, and some of the other options there is an upgrade fee. Then removed over to the toppings and these are all unlimited and so I was able to get feta cheese, tomatoes, olives, purple cabbage, everything was so endless and amazing At the very end, you're able to choose two different kind of sauces and at the very end, my bowl was actually pretty heavy in weight but most importantly it was very delicious Thank you to the team member here that was very helpful and walked me through the process. I think I might've been too overwhelmed. Otherwise I might've just opted for the burger which I may still have to try next time. The sweet potato fries also look very good and I will have to try those next time for sure. There's a ton of parking spots right outside. I can't get a little bit busy here so she'll be so many different food options but generally, I haven't really had an issue with finding a spot. read more

Food is great for the first couple of bites, but the gets extremely salty. Is anyone's else's food like this too? We had the ultimate shawarma bowl read more

They no longer accept cash. I wasn't told until it was literally time to pay. I didn't have any other way to pay and the cashier was visibly uncomfortable. I was told this was a decision from management and I have to say I absolutely will not be returning until they roll back this frankly dystopian policy. Go elsewhere for hummus. read more

The food here is so fresh and good. I like the sampler as a starter. The only thing I do not like is using the kiosk to order. It kept glitching. Otherwise it was just as good as the one I usually go to. read more

I went here for the first time today and absolutely loved this bowl and the amount of toppings!! The spices were really good and I really enjoyed the ease of choices when it came to the bowl. I wish there were more locations near me but I will definitely be back! read more

Okay just to start I came in first the first time today with really a blind eye no research no nothing besides a sign outside that said $10 protein bowl 53g protein. Very intriguing so I came in, when I came in I was greeted by a nice guy he left before I finished so unfortunately I didn't get his name but he was pretty tall and had a beard with a hat on he was great throughout my experience and was extremely understanding that it was my first time here he helped me choose my options and once I started I noticed the hummus was great , aswell as almost everything in my bowl, Besides the Kalamata Olives. Now to give points I will say these olives are usually salty but these were a bit extra salty just not for my liking and the cucumber was almost perfect just not the crunchy type I prefer. And finally the chicken Shawarma was good but not great. Missing some flavor but 0 flavor it's nice when paired with all other sides. Inside the restaurant I love how it looks clean neat and easy I wish the self station wasn't so hidden I didn't even notice it until I saw somebody using it maybe a bit more direction would be nice but besides that tables are clean the kitchen looks clean and so does the main area and last but definitely not least I got the Strawberry Lemonade and for me personally, way too sweet. There isn't any strawberry all you taste is the sugar and lemonade wouldn't recommend for me personally but I'd love to come back again and try the other options. read more

really good food and choices! Ive never been here but i was brought in after my dad gave me a gift card and i am so grateful for it. My bowl was super full and yummy. The chicken is seasoned perfectly and as well as the hummus! The guy who served me was very helpful as well read more

Hummus Republic - Mediterranean Near Me - Ventura, California

I wanted to try this place to compare it to Luna Grill. It seemed similar but also a good, fast place for Mediterranean food. I had the spicy shawarma bowl and enjoyed all of the ingredients included. The chicken had good texture and the vegetables were all fresh. The food was prepared quick despite the time of day being lunch, and the interior of the of the place was modern. read more

I hate telling everybody how great this place is, and how inexpensive it is compared to other places, but oh my goodness! The best! Had jury duty in Ventura and was looking for good places for lunch. This one popped up as number one. For good reason. The food was amazing, reasonably priced(something that is unheard of these days), and definitely more than one meal. I ordered their protein bowl which has 52 g of protein in it, I was so excited! But, it's way too much food to eat in one sitting so it took me three lunches to eat it. I cannot recommend this place enough, it is the best! read more

I love it here! Friendly staff and the food is so good and so filling! You get a lot of food for what u pay for. The falafel burger is so freaking good. Also I'm chronically obsessed with the lemonades specifically the pomegranate lemonade like I fr went and got 4 of them at once bc I couldn't hold back lol read more

Go to Cava. This place is overpriced and honestly not that great. Cava just opened on s. Victoria has the same options and a few bucks cheaper. read more

Food was excellent. Lemon chicken bowl. Came with some grains (couscous + chickpeas), greens, 3 hummus choices, a protein, 2 dressings and toppings. I'd love to see more toppings, but overall it was great! Didn't feel as processed or heavy as cava - this was excellent! read more

Best Wrap I have ever had. So fresh and lot's of ways to customize it. 11/10. We will be back for sure.

I'm so glad I checked this place out. My daughter and I walked into a completely empty restaurant. The restaurant inside was clean and well lit. All of the ingredients that they offer for your wraps and sandwiches were very fresh. The service was quick, and the servers even offered suggestions. The real star of the night was the Tahini Milkshake! I was very skeptical on trying it, but after one sip I WAS SOLD! I will definitely be back to order another one of these. read more

Continue to love the food here at Hummus Republic. It is consistently good and I love getting the half lemon chicken and half chicken shawarma bowl. So many fresh ingredients and generous on the portion. It's around $15 but I generally get twoish meals out of it. The staff are always friendly and everything always appears and tastes fresh. Really love having them so close to me as a relatively healthy lunch/dinner option! read more

Amazing food quality and portions and flavor. Love coming here on my lunch breaks the employees are always so kind and quick. And for the price??? Cant beat that read more

My husband and I were looking for a vegan food place near us and we found hummus Republic. I was depressed by how good the food was. I really like the Earth burger, which is basically falafel sandwich. We also got the bowls, both with falafel and some add-ons. I wasn't too impressed with that. I felt that it was plain. I was return here. read more

I really like this place. It's new idea and type of food for Ventura. It's like if Chipotle and Luna Grill had a baby. You walk in and are able to build a bowl or a gyro with select options. They have different meats, hummus, add ons, and sauces to choose from. The staff has always been helpful and nice. I feel like it's 50/50 you've either never been in there and have no idea how to order or you're an old pro. You started with a base - greens, couscous, or garbanzos beans. Next is hummus and you can choose up to four types I believe. Personally I love the harissa. It's like a spicy hummus. Then there protein- falafel, gyro, mushroom or two kinds of chicken. I personally really like the chicken shawarma. There are so many toppings you can add but I'm basic so I just do feta cheese crumbles and artichoke hearts. Lastly is the sauce - my favorite is the tzatziki! The bowl is actually pretty massive and enough for me for two meals. I think it's a good deal for the cost. Their falafels are delicious and very fresh tasting too ! read more

Hummus Republic is a Mediterranean restaurant that sells healthy, refreshing deliciousness in a form of a bowl, wrap, or pita. Since there is no CAVA in Ventura county, it's nice to know that hummus republic offers a similar take on food and it's also a cheaper option! I specifically got the chicken spinach wrap. I was able to mix and match two different proteins which were the lemon chicken and chicken shawarma. The chicken shawarma was a little dry, but the lemon chicken made up for it. You can choose up to 3 hummus. I decided to just stick with the harissa hummus and that had a good heat and flavor. You can also choose however much toppings you want. I really like how they pack the wrap! They are super generous. I had a good time eating here. I would come back again to try their bowl and try out their other options! read more

Thank you Miguel for helping me with my order today! Miguel was so helpful since it was my first time there I was trying to decide on what toppings I wanted on my bowl and he helped me out! Plus he gave me an extra side of dressing to try! I decided to go with a bowl. I added couscous for the base, kale, lemon chicken, beets, cucumbers, olives and dolmas ( those are extra 2 for $1). For the dressing I went with roasted red pepper! I like spicy food, but boy this one was spicy! I think I'll try a different kind next time. Everything was so fresh and exactly what I was craving! Everything was clean and even though I didn't eat there, it looks like it's a nice place to enjoy your meal. read more

This spot is so FIRE and exactly the kind of healthier option that we needed on this side of Ventura. My friends and I had been eyeing this spot since it opened and finally a girlfriend and I were able to sneak in for a quick lunch on a cold rainy day. Because of the weather it was perfect and not too busy inside but still clearly popular seeing as they are a new businesses. There were a few people ahead of us in line and half of the tables were taken inside. Glad this place has already developed a following. The menu was self explanatory and really helpful to review before ordering. Also I appreciate that all of the ingredients are laid out and labeled as you navigate from start to finish at the counter so that made it easier too when putting together your food. I liked the ordering system and that everything is custom made and fresh. You can opt for a bow, sandwich, wrap, or salad. A lot of variety. For protein I went with the gyro meat which is a $3 up charge but it was delicious and I've just always loved that lamb/beef mix. My friend got a half and half of the chicken, one was plain and the other was a lemon chicken. She said that protein was delicious but next time she'd go with full lemon chicken as it was much more flavorful than the regular chicken. For my order I got a spinach wrap and the primary greens added were spinach. Then went with gyro meat and some tasty topping like onions, cucumber, beets, and sauces. They added two different hummus at the beginning and then I got their cucumber white sauce and tahini. A super flavorful and delicious healthy meal. This place will definitely become a new staple for me when looking for filling healthier options. The primary meal was a 5/5. For sides I'd personally skip the sweet potato fries. They aren't made fresh to order and were sitting up on the heater tray, so they were only lukewarm. Also I'm not a fan of the big cris cross fries so another reason I'd pass. The main meal is filling enough we realized we really didn't need a side. They have some tasty drinks and I went with one of their lemonades and that hit the spot. The staff here are extremely nice and friendly. I'd honestly come back again as the staff were super stellar here and clearly excited about the new business and guiding you through crafting your perfect plate. They never made me feel rushed as I navigated the new menu and they were super helpful with suggestions. They gave good portions and were accommodating when I asked if they could cut my wrap in half. They also went the extra mile to check on us throughout our meal to see if we were enjoying everything and would throw away our trash or get us items we needed. For a fast to go type of a restaurant I am impressed that the service was as good, if not better, than some restaurants are. Definitely A+ in the service department for sure. This location is easily accessible and has plenty of parking but I would recommend not coming during rush hours because I can see this spot is already growing in popularity. The inside was super clean and comfortable for dining in. All in all hummus republic is a solid yelp 5-stars from me all day long and I hope you'll check them out. read more

I love this place!!!! If you're looking for something quick, fresh, healthy, and well priced, this is it! I loooove doing the build your own bowl. I love the lemon chicken and chicken shawarma. I prefer the traditional hummus. I've had the harissa hummus before and just fair warning it's really spicy. I also looooove their sweet potato fries!! For $14, I feel like you get a lot of food in the bowl. Also you can't beat the quality - everything is ALWAYS fresh! I've been ordering pick up here when I'm running errands in Ventura. The food is always ready in 10 min or less. Staff is very friendly. I also like how they package pick up orders. This will continue to be my go-to spot when I'm on the go! read more

FINALLY!!!!!!!! This place is SO delicious and has the bomb amount of vegan options. Mushroom Shwarma you say??? It's the stuff dreams are made of. Reasonably priced, great portion size, and good fast service. Will definitely be returning!!! read more

Hummus Republic - Mushroom shawarma & falafel bowl :) - Mediterranean Near Me - Ventura, California

My only reason I'm knocking off a star is the consistency. I went a second time and ordered the same thing but the second time they loaded the fire bowl with the hot sauce instead of on the side and it was way too spicey. First time it was great because I was able to add just enough for a nice kick. But this place is delicious!! read more

The server did not smile at all. Portions are much smaller than used to be. It was awkward with the attitude. I love this place but service creates that happiness read more

Man I don't even know where to start. They customer service here is just horrible. The employees need to get replaced because they are just not it. They messed up my order first of all and they take so long to make every single order it's incredible. They should've won the award for slowest workers in the food industry. read more

Lorena is so nice!!! What an amazing employee. Super welcoming and knowledgeable about which sauces go best, etc. . She made our experience ! read more

I have tried severalndifferent items here on three different occasions and been disappointed I like flavored hummus, but the choices did not appeal to me and the spicy one was way too spicy. I tried the vegetarian Shawarma, which was shredded mushroom, but it had a very strange flavor. The falafel wrap I had would have been good if the falafel were fresh, but they tasted old . I was hoping for a nice vegetarian plate, but you have to buy everything à la carte read more

One of our new fav places! The chicken shawarma bowl is delicious and a great post workout refuel! I like it with red onion, olives, and cucumber, doused in the drinkable tzatziki read more

Hummus Republic is excellent. The food is healthy and the service is great. The range of foods and drinks is also impressiv. I love this place. read more

Miguel made the experience of ordering somewhere new easy friendly and heartfelt with good recommendations to the extent I will be coming back. If he's not the store manager yet he has a future being one with his customer service skills. Food was outstanding and I think the combinations he helped me put together added to that significantly. Will be a return customer. read more

After trying Hummus Republic a few times I do find myself coming back again. Firstly, it's like a chipotle for Mediterranean food. You get to pick your base, protein and toppings. I usually get a bowl because I don't like to use my hands to eat. I got the couscous and chickpeas for the base, and all the salad greens as well. I usually get the lemon chicken. I've tried the chicken schwarma before but it wasn't for me because I tend to like things lighter in flavor, but others may like it though. I've also tried the falafels dipped in tzatziki sauce, and it tasted really good. After they scoop all the toppings in, the amount of food you get is quite a lot, I was very full after finishing it. Now for the not so great part. As the employee was scooping the food into my bowl, anything that fell on to the counter they either scooped it into my bowl or just back into whatever container it belongs to. Although the employee wore gloves I'm not sure how clean the counter is. This has happened twice before. Even so, I did eat all of it and was ok afterwards. So I will still go back because the food is pretty good and prices are reasonable. read more

Hummus Republic - Bowl with Lemon chicken and toppings - Mediterranean Near Me - Ventura, California

A very good selection sort of like a chipotle of hummus. I put together a bowl which had a good selection. it's sort of like putting together a Poké bowl. Mediterranean style service was good. People were friendly. Location was nice and it was a good spot to stop after doing some shopping in the area. read more

Great portions. I don't like that there's a few items you have to pay extra for like mushrooms and a hot pepper . Unlike Cava, they are more generous here . Food is about the same quality , I feel Cava has better flavor , but service at Cava is a hit or miss. Hummus Rebublic always has great service . read more

Cashier was pretty rude, food was very good though. However, I would say that this is one of the spots that skimps out on protein options. The environment is pretty bland too it felt like i was eating Mediterranean food in a box with fancy lights. read more

Wonderful location for this new spot! Basically a Cava - huge bowls, pita, or wraps to customize as you'd like. Great for a quick lunch; very filling for $14! read more

Definitely would not go back, menu seems appealing. Service was great. But the kids menu was terrible. I order the chicken sandwhich and chicken strips with sweet potato fries. Food was so dry it was hard to even chew, kids obviously didn't eat it. I'm guessing the fries sit all day, heated and aren't made fresh to order. Would not go back again. read more

Food and service were great. Pricing was reasonable. I'm never really thrilled with kiosk ordering, but i guess it's here to stay. Mostly i knocked off one star because it's freezing to sit inside and windy to sit outside. Admittedly no one is at fault. Five stars if you're doing take away and eating it at home read more
